What Anime and Animation are you currently watching?

Watching the last ten episodes of Dungeons & Dragons (the 80's animated movie), big hiatus between the previous eps due to FMA. then its onto much anticipated Cowboy Bebop. I'm alternating between Japanese animation/Anime and western fantasies. Can't help noticing some similarities D&D and Disney's Snow White has to the Anime style; humor and artwork in particular and I think these two came before Akira. Could the Japanese have borrowed from these to develop their own almost brand like specific style, I wonder?

Cheers, DeepThought
 
Anime fans, my pic in the guess the movie thread should be very easy for you if you call yourself an anime fan ;)
 
Just finished Oku-sama wa Joushikousei. *-_-* Working on Amatsuki,
which isn't bad, actually. Kinda like HaruToki, without the bish harem element.
 
Watched DragonLance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight.
MO:
The animation is not good, comparing to OVA/TV-series type anime. :(
As usual, the book version has deeper story.
 
Pretty hooked on Bleach right now. A little slow moving, but the story line is good and nice little comedy here and there, though a bit cheesy. Still hooked.
Just got the 5th season of DBZ in my mail box the other day so will be watching that for sometime.
 
Going very retro at the moment, and I've just picked up an old copy of Heroic Legend of Arislan. Might continue along those lines and watch Record of Lodoss War again.
 
Zero no Tsukaima - first season and Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori. Comedy and tragedy. Light and dark :)
 
Long time anime fan who remembers seeing Marine Boy and Jonny Quest as a child. Just finished watching the stunningly georgeous Appleseed Exmachina.

I have just started watching the remastered Robotech. Up to episode 12 last night. Very nice to see the old stuff with pretty decent sound and with a good quality image. Memories of the days when one would have to survive on NTSC off air, or worse quality recordings.
 
I just started watching Bleach, I'm only up to episode 16 though.

My friends in the states are mad on it and when we all met at San Diego Comic Con last year I saw a couple of them on TV, not that I had a clue what was going on as they were probably on episode 40 or something! Anyway, the girls told me to watch it and so I have trusted their recommendation!

I really like it, it's been a while since I watched a good anime on the Manga label. Looking forward to the next disc dropping through my door as it would seem I have to wait a while for the next set of discs to be released.

I was watching Code Geass R2, but because of the problems I've experienced with Internet connection I gave up trying to download the episodes for a while. Code Geass is one of my favorites anime series, though.

I think I'll watch a few episodes of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StikerS today, which really is not as girly as it sounds. The Nanoha series has cool characters and great action that I've enjoyed. The stories may not be quite as cool as Blood+ or Eureka 7, but still worth watching.
